Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

This bill requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to determine whether a population of at least 100 Mexican gray wolves in a 5,000-square-mile area within the historic range of the Mexican gray wolf has been established, as described in the Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan of 1982.
What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in Senate · Jan 4, 2018
This bill requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to determine whether a population of at least 100 Mexican gray wolves in a 5,000-square-mile area within the historic range of the Mexican gray wolf has been established, as described in the Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan of 1982. The term Mexican gray wolf includes any gray wolf that the USFWS determines will take the place of, or correspond with, the Mexican gray wolf.
If the USFWS makes a determination that the population has been established, then: (1) the Mexican gray wolf shall be excluded from a list of endangered species, threatened species, or experimental populations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973; and (2) the management of the Mexican gray wolf must be assumed by each state in which the wolf is present.
